I'm planning also to set up a table for info about the Omni. If you'd like to add literature/info/flyers about your collective, a class or event, I'll be setting up a dropoff spot behind the front counter later today.

The mission of these Collabazaars is to create a sustainable model for fundraising for the Omni's monthly expenses while simultaneously providing local makers in our community with income and visibility to support their continued creative / artistic / crafty / culinary endeavors. It's something many of us have been talking about for awhile now, with limited volunteer energy to execute - but even if the first one is small I'm sure we can grow this!

Collaborators confirmed so far:
* Francisco Jimenez, Tucan Vinegars: Selling delicious homemade Costa Rican-style vinegars. Free tastings available!
* Abby Normal Art by Antoinette Gaggero
* Liberation Food Coop: Fair trade, fresh-roasted coffee, hibiscus lemongrass kombucha, and a variety of teas to sample.
* Radical zines available by donation

Please share the facebook event widely: https://www.facebook.com/events/1661603590723647/

Flyers will be available tomorrow afternoon at the front counter of the Omni if anyone would like to help with promoting!

Love,
Jenny
